About This Item
GREER are back!After a two-year hiatus from recording, the OC based band reconvened in 2023, returning to where it all started drummer Lucas Ovalle's garage. It was in this familiar environment that Ovalle, guitarist lead singer Josiah, guitarist Corbin Jacques, and bassist Seth Thomson learned how to be friends again and shared all the anxieties and revelations they'd endured on hiatus through crafting songs. The 13 songs that make up Big Smile are the band's emotional champions that track the tumultuous period between the start of their break and the peace they found on their way back to each other. In the studio with fellow California legends Rob Schnapf (The Vines, Beck) and Matt Schuessler (Kurt Vile, Cat Power), Greer grew up again, taking more ownership over their sound and learning to speak producer-ese. Big Smile is the sound of a band exorcising their demons, learning to trust themselves, and asserting themselves with newfound earnestness and maturity. It's the sound of a band that's fallen in love with rocking out again. It's the sound of friends rediscovering each other and the magic that they can create together when they embrace each other's vulnerable side. With Big Smile, Greer has arrived as a serious, and seriously fun, alt rock band with diversity of sound and unity of vision. Album Tracks 1. Omnibus 2. One in the Same 3. Had Enough 4.
